    Jannik Sinner reaches Cincinnati Open semifinals, clinching his 25th win in a row on hardcourt

    World number one Jannik Sinner extends his hardcourt winning streak, dating back to October 2024, by reaching the last four in Cincinnati ahead of the US Open.


    Defending champion Jannik Sinner has swept past Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-0, 6-2 to reach the Cincinnati Open semifinals, with the world number one extending his hardcourt winning streak to 25 matches.

    Sinner delivered a dominant performance, capitalising on his opponent's 29 unforced errors to claim his first win in three meetings against the Canadian in just 71 minutes.

    "Today I felt great on court. I think you saw that but every day is going to be different," Sinner said.

    "Tomorrow is a day off, which is good for me. We will try and put some reps in, and then see what I can do in the semis."

    The Italian became only the fifth man this century to record 25 consecutive victories on the surface alongside Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray.

    The last time Sinner lost a match on hardcourt was back in October 2024, when he was beaten by Carlos Alcaraz in the China Open final in Beijing, losing 6-7(8/6), 6-4, 7-6(7/3).

    He will face either Danish seventh seed Holger Rune or French qualifier Terence Atmane.

    In the women's draw, second seed Coco Gauff secured her place in the quarterfinals with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Italy's Lucia Bronzetti.

    "For the most part I played aggressive. Maybe got a bit passive in some of those games. But it's tough. The balls are super light and they fly," Gauff said.

    "She wasn't giving me much pace. I was trying to play with control but also aggressive. I think I did well. I missed a couple balls. But I learned from it and was able to close it out."

    The two-time Grand Slam champion will next face another Italian, seventh seed Jasmine Paolini, who swept past Barbora Krejcíková 6-1, 6-2 in a rematch of the 2024 Wimbledon final.
